Fall Product Sales

The Fall Product Sale is a council-sponsored program that combines
educational activities with money earning opportunities for the
troops. The Fall Sale is directed toward family and friends- those
closest to Girl Scouting and enables troops to earn start up money by
selling magazine subscriptions as well as nuts and candy.

Thank you for your support of the girls, troops and the council by
purchasing or participating in the Fall Product Sale!

GOAL SETTING ACTIVITIES

Setting goals is the key to a successful sale Troops and girls who
set goals earn big. Talk about what your plans are for the fall and
what the funding would be needed to make it happen. Give your girls
the opportunity to fully experience Product Sale Programming and don’t
skip the Goal Setting and Decision Making skill building! Fall
Product isn’t as simple as saying “sell 350 boxes of cookies” since
the product line is varied. But by leveraging all product options, the
girls can discover, connect and take action to meet their troop’s
funding needs.

As an example a Troop with 10 girls

If each girl sells…

3 Magazine orders

20 nut items

Troop earns $266

Join the 100 club by selling 100 combined items from Ashdon Farms and M 2 Media.

Troop Resources

The Fall Product Sale Program is managed in the M2 Media web based
system by Troop, Service Unit and Association volunteers. It is also
the system used by council to order product as well as rewards. The
Service Unit Fall Product Chair will be sure the troop is provided
login information. Registered girls names will be uploaded prior to
the sale start date though newly registered girls can be easily added
as they join your troop.

Product Offerings

These items will be sold in a three-tiered pricing structure
of $6.00, $7.00, $8.00, $9.00, and $10.00. The product is of
extremely high quality and will have 2 items offered in decorative
collectors tins.

M 2 Media Offers a Wide Variety of Products

It’s not just magazines! Magazine and educational kit
subscriptions make an easy sell. With the M2 Media program, those
same magazine sales can benefit the Girl Scout Council of the
Nation’s Capital with 50% of the purchase price from every sale
going directly to the Council, not the publishers.

How it Works

All Fall Sale options in one envelope and there are two ways for
troops to earn proceeds

Taking orders for magazines

Customers order online

Nut and candy items

Girls take orders via a nut order card

Online Nut and Candy Store-When
the girls send emails there will be a link to both the Magazines and
Nut and Candy. Customers can purchase online and have the items
directly shipped to them (customers will have a larger selection to
choose from), or they can choose girl delivered option (only
available during the in-person order time)

Customers Pay Up Front

Collect all money when orders are placed

Once product
is delivered, you are done

M2 MEDIA/NUT ONLINE PROGRAM

Girls can invite family and friends to support the Girl Scout
Council of the Nation’s Capital through online sales and it takes less
than 15 minutes to get started! Girls create their Me2 Avatar and
enter email addresses to allow friends and family to shop online for
magazines, nut and candy.

Magazines are paid for online with a credit card and will arrive to
the customer in 4 to 6 weeks.

Nuts and candy are paid by credit card and shipped directly to the
customer. Customers will incur a shipping fee. Local customers may
choose the girl delivered option.

Order your family’s subscriptions
easily online and invite friends and family to shop online by
entering or uploading their email addresses

All major
credit cards accepted

Girls will earn apatch for entering 12 or more email
addresses and earn proceeds for their troop for each magazine
subscription or nut/candy order sold online. Additionally, girls will
receive credit toward their rewards for online orders. Girls can check
back throughout the sale to track their progress and enter additional
email addresses to meet their goals. At the end of the program,
girls/parents will receive a reminder email to print the Girl Online Sales Report showing magazines, nut and candy
online orders.

Girls can create their own avatar- when they send 12 emails and sell
4 magazine orders and 20 nut/chocolate items, they will receive a
patch with the image of their avatar on it personalized with their name.
